Greg Sims, a science teacher at Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs, was suspended for five days without pay, according to a letter addressed October 8 from Superintendent Walt Griffin. His suspension runs through early November.

According to the letter, Sims "taped a student's hands together, attempted to tape her mouth closed as a means of addressing her disturbing class and taped her book bag to a pole in the classroom."

"I have determined that your conduct in this situation does not conform to the Seminole County Public Schools Student Conduct and Discipline Code," Griffin wrote. "This is unacceptable conduct on the part of a professional educator and represents misconduct in office."

The incident marks Sims' third suspension in his 25-year career, all three of which included embarrassing female students, Local 6 reported.
